The Key to the Queendom: Driver Ants as Keystone Species in Tropical Africa
Dr Max Tercel (Université de Montpellier)
entoLIVE webinar
08 Dec 2025

Driver ants form some of the most impressive colonies of any animal on Earth, up to 20 million strong. They form vast raids to capture their prey but surprisingly little is known about them. This talk will describe what we know about driver ants and what we're beginning to learn about this amazing group of social insects using cutting-edge modern tools.

Max Tercel is a scientist studying the ecology of ants at the Université de Montpellier. He is interested in how ants affect the world around them and uses time-tested entomological techniques as well as newer cutting-edge molecular methods, such as DNA metabarcoding, in his research.
